A PARALLEL MONTE CARLO CODE FOR SIMULATING COLLISIONAL N -BODY SYSTEMS

Hybrid, Multiscale Monte Carlo Algorithm for Simulating Stochastic Systems

INTRODUCTION Accurately relating the physiological outcome of a cell to the molecular events, based on an in silico analysis of intracellular networks, requires not only a precise knowledge of the network, but also an appropriate simulation technique. Traditionally, the methods used to temporally evolve intracellular networks have been deterministic in nature. However, deterministic methods can...

Mass Attenuation Coefficients of Human Body Organs using MCNPX Monte Carlo Code

Introduction: Investigation of radiation interaction with living organs has always been a thrust area in medical and radiation physics. The investigated results are being used in medical physics for developing improved and sensitive techniques and minimizing radiation exposure. In this study, mass attenuation coefficients of different human organs and biological materials such as adipose, blood...

Rabbit internal dosimetry for iodine-131 using GATE Monte Carlo simulation code: a preclinical trial

Introduction: One of the main concerns in administration of radiotracers, especially in therapeutic arm, is the amount of delivered dose to the different organs. Individual variations of anatomy, physiology and underlying pathology in the patients lead to alteration of administered activity. In the current study we preclinically applied internal dosimetry using an animal mod...

Parallel Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (ParaGrandMC) Simulation Code

Parallel Monte-Carlo Tree Search for HPC Systems

Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a simulation-based search method that brought about great success to applications such as ComputerGo in the past few years. The power of MCTS strongly depends on the number of simulations computed per time unit and the amount of memory available to store data gathered during simulation. High-performance computing systems such as large compute clusters provide v...
